It means we can push the policy further out of the core, whilst still providing options for all those crazy 99% use-case work-flows certain people seem so adamant we shouldn't make easier in case it were to hurt our great flexibility in the number of ways we can make common operations difficult. Open source doesn't mean we have to hard-code every behaviour anyone might want in the core. I could quote some good examples, such as Firefox / Compiz / XMMS (and its children) / VLC.. which use plugins. </rant over> -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
